A History Defined by InnovationThe BSampBreg story began over 120 years ago at the dawn of the modern energy industry in the United States AH Black observed the costly and unsafe storage of oil in open earthen pits and developed the industryrsquos first fabricated oil storage tanks These tanks were in such demand that Black partnered with Jim Sivalls and WG Bryson That successful Black Sivalls amp Bryson partnership gave rise to the ldquoBSampBrdquo name
The BSampB commitment to innovative engineering continued over the ensuing decades to make possible the growth of the oil and gas processing industry The BSampB name is well known for the innovative design of separators dehydrators heaters treaters and other process equipment integral to the industryrsquos safe and efficient operations
Research and development efforts resulted in innovations that extended well beyond the oil and gas equipment industry The invention of the worldrsquos first rupture disk (bursting disc) in 1931 provided a safe and reliable pressure relief mechanism to not only protect such equipment but also a means to provide for personal protection against dangerous over pressurizations and damaging vacuum conditions
The year 1966 brought the invention of the reverse buckling rupture disk which offers superior resistance to operating conditions greater accuracy and reliability With our development of the scored reverse buckling disk in 1972 the combination of rupture disk devices with pressure relief valves was born Changing from a perfect seal to a full open flow area in milliseconds the rupture disk compliments the reclosing characteristics of relief valves enhancing pressure relief system reliability particularly for owners and operators of hazardous and toxic materials processing and storage facilities
With the growth in processing and handling of dry plastic materials in pellet and powder form together with the large scale processing of dry agricultural products BSampB rupture disk technology was further developed to achieve the large relief areas and low set pressures required for explosion venting of combustible dust hazards With the development of explosion suppression technology in 1993 BSampB protects the dry materials industries from chemicals to foods and from pharmaceuticals to power generation
Continuing the rich history of BSampB innovation the Buckling Pin Relief Valve (BPRVTM) was invented in 1995 and further developed to achieve ASME and CE certification in 2005 Designed to protect large piping systems from overpressure the BPRVTM is the safety solution for the API compliant flare systems used by the oil and gas industries marking a return to our technology roots
BSampB technology is all around you in transportation systems power generation transmission and distribution systems medical equipment chemical and pharmaceutical process plants as well as the food and beverage industries Where innovation is present you will find BSampB technology

VentingExplosion venting offers the most economic approach to dust explosion protection when the flameball generated during venting can be accepted in the surrounding environment Sizing and placement of explosion vents must be correctly engineered to ensure their effectiveness Where ducted venting is deployed enlarged vent areas must be implemented to offset the delay in the fast combustion event reaching the open atmosphere BSampB provides more than ten models of explosion vent each developed for specific application conditions and to be in compliance with industry standards Whether protecting a storage silo a dust collector or an oven BSampB has proven vent technology for your application
IsolationWhile chemical isolation is the most flexible approach to providing a barrier to flame propagation some applications cannot accept the presence of the extinguishing agents commonly used (most typical is sodium
bicarbonate) Mechanical isolation barriers such as the BSampB IVE lsquopinch valversquo or IFV lsquoflap valversquo can be inserted into a process line Under normal operating conditions the process flow passes through the mechanical barrier Under dust explosion conditions the mechanical barrier either self closes due to the pressure wave that precedes the flameball of a dust explosion or is actuated shut Isolation devices must be located at a distance from the dust explosion hazard verified by BSampB
Spark Detection and Extinguishing Under normal air flow conditions hot spots and sparks passing through ducting can be optically detected and extinguished with water or other compatible medium further along the piping Successful extinguishing is typically achieved without stopping the process Spark detection systems are often deployed to detect a hot spot in a process flow and provide a trigger to an abort gate or diverter valve directing the unwanted hot material to a safe location
Combustible Dust Risk Management Technology PlatformsCombustible dust explosions are fast and dangerous producing flame and pressure risks which must be managed according to the user application conditions The technology platforms employed for protection and prevention all seek to maintain the pressure developed by a dust explosion within safe limits for the typically light metal construction process and storage equipment used in bulk materials handling Suppression and chemical isolation systems extinguish flame early in the dust explosion event Explosion venting to atmosphere requires careful management of the flameball generated which can be 100 feet (30 meters) or more in length
Explosion Suppression Isolation
Sensing of the pressure waves ahead of the fireball developed by early stages of a dust explosion allows a suppression cannon module to extinguish the flame inside this dust collector before it engulfs the process equipment and develops a dangerous pressure The isolation cannon blocks the flame from entering the dirty air inlet avoiding propagation of the dust explosion System relays are used to shut down the process and generate appropriate user alarms

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well

A History Defined by InnovationThe BSampBreg story began over 120 years ago at the dawn of the modern energy industry in the United States AH Black observed the costly and unsafe storage of oil in open earthen pits and developed the industryrsquos first fabricated oil storage tanks These tanks were in such demand that Black partnered with Jim Sivalls and WG Bryson That successful Black Sivalls amp Bryson partnership gave rise to the ldquoBSampBrdquo name
The BSampB commitment to innovative engineering continued over the ensuing decades to make possible the growth of the oil and gas processing industry The BSampB name is well known for the innovative design of separators dehydrators heaters treaters and other process equipment integral to the industryrsquos safe and efficient operations
Research and development efforts resulted in innovations that extended well beyond the oil and gas equipment industry The invention of the worldrsquos first rupture disk (bursting disc) in 1931 provided a safe and reliable pressure relief mechanism to not only protect such equipment but also a means to provide for personal protection against dangerous over pressurizations and damaging vacuum conditions
The year 1966 brought the invention of the reverse buckling rupture disk which offers superior resistance to operating conditions greater accuracy and reliability With our development of the scored reverse buckling disk in 1972 the combination of rupture disk devices with pressure relief valves was born Changing from a perfect seal to a full open flow area in milliseconds the rupture disk compliments the reclosing characteristics of relief valves enhancing pressure relief system reliability particularly for owners and operators of hazardous and toxic materials processing and storage facilities
With the growth in processing and handling of dry plastic materials in pellet and powder form together with the large scale processing of dry agricultural products BSampB rupture disk technology was further developed to achieve the large relief areas and low set pressures required for explosion venting of combustible dust hazards With the development of explosion suppression technology in 1993 BSampB protects the dry materials industries from chemicals to foods and from pharmaceuticals to power generation
Continuing the rich history of BSampB innovation the Buckling Pin Relief Valve (BPRVTM) was invented in 1995 and further developed to achieve ASME and CE certification in 2005 Designed to protect large piping systems from overpressure the BPRVTM is the safety solution for the API compliant flare systems used by the oil and gas industries marking a return to our technology roots

VentingExplosion venting offers the most economic approach to dust explosion protection when the flameball generated during venting can be accepted in the surrounding environment Sizing and placement of explosion vents must be correctly engineered to ensure their effectiveness Where ducted venting is deployed enlarged vent areas must be implemented to offset the delay in the fast combustion event reaching the open atmosphere BSampB provides more than ten models of explosion vent each developed for specific application conditions and to be in compliance with industry standards Whether protecting a storage silo a dust collector or an oven BSampB has proven vent technology for your application
IsolationWhile chemical isolation is the most flexible approach to providing a barrier to flame propagation some applications cannot accept the presence of the extinguishing agents commonly used (most typical is sodium
bicarbonate) Mechanical isolation barriers such as the BSampB IVE lsquopinch valversquo or IFV lsquoflap valversquo can be inserted into a process line Under normal operating conditions the process flow passes through the mechanical barrier Under dust explosion conditions the mechanical barrier either self closes due to the pressure wave that precedes the flameball of a dust explosion or is actuated shut Isolation devices must be located at a distance from the dust explosion hazard verified by BSampB
Spark Detection and Extinguishing Under normal air flow conditions hot spots and sparks passing through ducting can be optically detected and extinguished with water or other compatible medium further along the piping Successful extinguishing is typically achieved without stopping the process Spark detection systems are often deployed to detect a hot spot in a process flow and provide a trigger to an abort gate or diverter valve directing the unwanted hot material to a safe location
Combustible Dust Risk Management Technology PlatformsCombustible dust explosions are fast and dangerous producing flame and pressure risks which must be managed according to the user application conditions The technology platforms employed for protection and prevention all seek to maintain the pressure developed by a dust explosion within safe limits for the typically light metal construction process and storage equipment used in bulk materials handling Suppression and chemical isolation systems extinguish flame early in the dust explosion event Explosion venting to atmosphere requires careful management of the flameball generated which can be 100 feet (30 meters) or more in length
Explosion Suppression Isolation
Sensing of the pressure waves ahead of the fireball developed by early stages of a dust explosion allows a suppression cannon module to extinguish the flame inside this dust collector before it engulfs the process equipment and develops a dangerous pressure The isolation cannon blocks the flame from entering the dirty air inlet avoiding propagation of the dust explosion System relays are used to shut down the process and generate appropriate user alarms

Our state of the art flow and dimensional measurement techniques ensure the user receives high quality safety devices compliant with industry standards Product perfomance features are controlled according to EN 10204 and in line with customer special requirements
The BSampB FlameSaf quality assurance system is monitored by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) who issue certification according to ISO 9001 to BSampB
Flame ArrestersFlame arresters are used as secondary protection against explosions by preventing the transmission of flame and explosion transfer in machines equipment and plants containing inflammable gas or steam-air mixtures of inflammable liquids These autonomous safety systems limit the effects of the explosions rendering them harmless they are intended to allow flow but prevent flame transmission
BSampB FlameSaf arrester products use the technical principle of a lsquoquenching gaprsquo Precision coiled arrester elements are manufactured to allow normal flow to occur and to present a barrier to flame propagation The quenching gap selected for the combustion condition of each application is too small for flame to pass and burning is lsquoarrestedrsquo Precision coiled arrester elements offer superior safety as compared to mesh type arresters which offer less stability of quenching gap
The BSampB FlameSaf product line includes arrester technology suited to safe management of deflagration and detonation risks in piping systems and equipment End-of-line and in-line devices are available along with PV vents that offer integral arresters

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well

VentingExplosion venting offers the most economic approach to dust explosion protection when the flameball generated during venting can be accepted in the surrounding environment Sizing and placement of explosion vents must be correctly engineered to ensure their effectiveness Where ducted venting is deployed enlarged vent areas must be implemented to offset the delay in the fast combustion event reaching the open atmosphere BSampB provides more than ten models of explosion vent each developed for specific application conditions and to be in compliance with industry standards Whether protecting a storage silo a dust collector or an oven BSampB has proven vent technology for your application
IsolationWhile chemical isolation is the most flexible approach to providing a barrier to flame propagation some applications cannot accept the presence of the extinguishing agents commonly used (most typical is sodium
bicarbonate) Mechanical isolation barriers such as the BSampB IVE lsquopinch valversquo or IFV lsquoflap valversquo can be inserted into a process line Under normal operating conditions the process flow passes through the mechanical barrier Under dust explosion conditions the mechanical barrier either self closes due to the pressure wave that precedes the flameball of a dust explosion or is actuated shut Isolation devices must be located at a distance from the dust explosion hazard verified by BSampB
Spark Detection and Extinguishing Under normal air flow conditions hot spots and sparks passing through ducting can be optically detected and extinguished with water or other compatible medium further along the piping Successful extinguishing is typically achieved without stopping the process Spark detection systems are often deployed to detect a hot spot in a process flow and provide a trigger to an abort gate or diverter valve directing the unwanted hot material to a safe location
Combustible Dust Risk Management Technology PlatformsCombustible dust explosions are fast and dangerous producing flame and pressure risks which must be managed according to the user application conditions The technology platforms employed for protection and prevention all seek to maintain the pressure developed by a dust explosion within safe limits for the typically light metal construction process and storage equipment used in bulk materials handling Suppression and chemical isolation systems extinguish flame early in the dust explosion event Explosion venting to atmosphere requires careful management of the flameball generated which can be 100 feet (30 meters) or more in length
Explosion Suppression Isolation
Sensing of the pressure waves ahead of the fireball developed by early stages of a dust explosion allows a suppression cannon module to extinguish the flame inside this dust collector before it engulfs the process equipment and develops a dangerous pressure The isolation cannon blocks the flame from entering the dirty air inlet avoiding propagation of the dust explosion System relays are used to shut down the process and generate appropriate user alarms

Flame ArrestersFlame arresters are used as secondary protection against explosions by preventing the transmission of flame and explosion transfer in machines equipment and plants containing inflammable gas or steam-air mixtures of inflammable liquids These autonomous safety systems limit the effects of the explosions rendering them harmless they are intended to allow flow but prevent flame transmission
BSampB FlameSaf arrester products use the technical principle of a lsquoquenching gaprsquo Precision coiled arrester elements are manufactured to allow normal flow to occur and to present a barrier to flame propagation The quenching gap selected for the combustion condition of each application is too small for flame to pass and burning is lsquoarrestedrsquo Precision coiled arrester elements offer superior safety as compared to mesh type arresters which offer less stability of quenching gap
The BSampB FlameSaf product line includes arrester technology suited to safe management of deflagration and detonation risks in piping systems and equipment End-of-line and in-line devices are available along with PV vents that offer integral arresters

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well

VentingExplosion venting offers the most economic approach to dust explosion protection when the flameball generated during venting can be accepted in the surrounding environment Sizing and placement of explosion vents must be correctly engineered to ensure their effectiveness Where ducted venting is deployed enlarged vent areas must be implemented to offset the delay in the fast combustion event reaching the open atmosphere BSampB provides more than ten models of explosion vent each developed for specific application conditions and to be in compliance with industry standards Whether protecting a storage silo a dust collector or an oven BSampB has proven vent technology for your application
IsolationWhile chemical isolation is the most flexible approach to providing a barrier to flame propagation some applications cannot accept the presence of the extinguishing agents commonly used (most typical is sodium
bicarbonate) Mechanical isolation barriers such as the BSampB IVE lsquopinch valversquo or IFV lsquoflap valversquo can be inserted into a process line Under normal operating conditions the process flow passes through the mechanical barrier Under dust explosion conditions the mechanical barrier either self closes due to the pressure wave that precedes the flameball of a dust explosion or is actuated shut Isolation devices must be located at a distance from the dust explosion hazard verified by BSampB
Spark Detection and Extinguishing Under normal air flow conditions hot spots and sparks passing through ducting can be optically detected and extinguished with water or other compatible medium further along the piping Successful extinguishing is typically achieved without stopping the process Spark detection systems are often deployed to detect a hot spot in a process flow and provide a trigger to an abort gate or diverter valve directing the unwanted hot material to a safe location
Combustible Dust Risk Management Technology PlatformsCombustible dust explosions are fast and dangerous producing flame and pressure risks which must be managed according to the user application conditions The technology platforms employed for protection and prevention all seek to maintain the pressure developed by a dust explosion within safe limits for the typically light metal construction process and storage equipment used in bulk materials handling Suppression and chemical isolation systems extinguish flame early in the dust explosion event Explosion venting to atmosphere requires careful management of the flameball generated which can be 100 feet (30 meters) or more in length
Explosion Suppression Isolation
Sensing of the pressure waves ahead of the fireball developed by early stages of a dust explosion allows a suppression cannon module to extinguish the flame inside this dust collector before it engulfs the process equipment and develops a dangerous pressure The isolation cannon blocks the flame from entering the dirty air inlet avoiding propagation of the dust explosion System relays are used to shut down the process and generate appropriate user alarms

Flame ArrestersFlame arresters are used as secondary protection against explosions by preventing the transmission of flame and explosion transfer in machines equipment and plants containing inflammable gas or steam-air mixtures of inflammable liquids These autonomous safety systems limit the effects of the explosions rendering them harmless they are intended to allow flow but prevent flame transmission
BSampB FlameSaf arrester products use the technical principle of a lsquoquenching gaprsquo Precision coiled arrester elements are manufactured to allow normal flow to occur and to present a barrier to flame propagation The quenching gap selected for the combustion condition of each application is too small for flame to pass and burning is lsquoarrestedrsquo Precision coiled arrester elements offer superior safety as compared to mesh type arresters which offer less stability of quenching gap
The BSampB FlameSaf product line includes arrester technology suited to safe management of deflagration and detonation risks in piping systems and equipment End-of-line and in-line devices are available along with PV vents that offer integral arresters

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well

VentingExplosion venting offers the most economic approach to dust explosion protection when the flameball generated during venting can be accepted in the surrounding environment Sizing and placement of explosion vents must be correctly engineered to ensure their effectiveness Where ducted venting is deployed enlarged vent areas must be implemented to offset the delay in the fast combustion event reaching the open atmosphere BSampB provides more than ten models of explosion vent each developed for specific application conditions and to be in compliance with industry standards Whether protecting a storage silo a dust collector or an oven BSampB has proven vent technology for your application
IsolationWhile chemical isolation is the most flexible approach to providing a barrier to flame propagation some applications cannot accept the presence of the extinguishing agents commonly used (most typical is sodium
bicarbonate) Mechanical isolation barriers such as the BSampB IVE lsquopinch valversquo or IFV lsquoflap valversquo can be inserted into a process line Under normal operating conditions the process flow passes through the mechanical barrier Under dust explosion conditions the mechanical barrier either self closes due to the pressure wave that precedes the flameball of a dust explosion or is actuated shut Isolation devices must be located at a distance from the dust explosion hazard verified by BSampB
Spark Detection and Extinguishing Under normal air flow conditions hot spots and sparks passing through ducting can be optically detected and extinguished with water or other compatible medium further along the piping Successful extinguishing is typically achieved without stopping the process Spark detection systems are often deployed to detect a hot spot in a process flow and provide a trigger to an abort gate or diverter valve directing the unwanted hot material to a safe location
Combustible Dust Risk Management Technology PlatformsCombustible dust explosions are fast and dangerous producing flame and pressure risks which must be managed according to the user application conditions The technology platforms employed for protection and prevention all seek to maintain the pressure developed by a dust explosion within safe limits for the typically light metal construction process and storage equipment used in bulk materials handling Suppression and chemical isolation systems extinguish flame early in the dust explosion event Explosion venting to atmosphere requires careful management of the flameball generated which can be 100 feet (30 meters) or more in length
Explosion Suppression Isolation
Sensing of the pressure waves ahead of the fireball developed by early stages of a dust explosion allows a suppression cannon module to extinguish the flame inside this dust collector before it engulfs the process equipment and develops a dangerous pressure The isolation cannon blocks the flame from entering the dirty air inlet avoiding propagation of the dust explosion System relays are used to shut down the process and generate appropriate user alarms

Flame ArrestersFlame arresters are used as secondary protection against explosions by preventing the transmission of flame and explosion transfer in machines equipment and plants containing inflammable gas or steam-air mixtures of inflammable liquids These autonomous safety systems limit the effects of the explosions rendering them harmless they are intended to allow flow but prevent flame transmission
BSampB FlameSaf arrester products use the technical principle of a lsquoquenching gaprsquo Precision coiled arrester elements are manufactured to allow normal flow to occur and to present a barrier to flame propagation The quenching gap selected for the combustion condition of each application is too small for flame to pass and burning is lsquoarrestedrsquo Precision coiled arrester elements offer superior safety as compared to mesh type arresters which offer less stability of quenching gap
The BSampB FlameSaf product line includes arrester technology suited to safe management of deflagration and detonation risks in piping systems and equipment End-of-line and in-line devices are available along with PV vents that offer integral arresters

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well

CertificationAll products have been certified through a certification body (DNV BAM IBExU PTB) as per the EC Directive 949EC and awarded the CE mark of conformity
Our state of the art flow and dimensional measurement techniques ensure the user receives high quality safety devices compliant with industry standards Product perfomance features are controlled according to EN 10204 and in line with customer special requirements
The BSampB FlameSaf quality assurance system is monitored by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) who issue certification according to ISO 9001 to BSampB
Flame ArrestersFlame arresters are used as secondary protection against explosions by preventing the transmission of flame and explosion transfer in machines equipment and plants containing inflammable gas or steam-air mixtures of inflammable liquids These autonomous safety systems limit the effects of the explosions rendering them harmless they are intended to allow flow but prevent flame transmission
BSampB FlameSaf arrester products use the technical principle of a lsquoquenching gaprsquo Precision coiled arrester elements are manufactured to allow normal flow to occur and to present a barrier to flame propagation The quenching gap selected for the combustion condition of each application is too small for flame to pass and burning is lsquoarrestedrsquo Precision coiled arrester elements offer superior safety as compared to mesh type arresters which offer less stability of quenching gap
The BSampB FlameSaf product line includes arrester technology suited to safe management of deflagration and detonation risks in piping systems and equipment End-of-line and in-line devices are available along with PV vents that offer integral arresters

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well

VentingExplosion venting offers the most economic approach to dust explosion protection when the flameball generated during venting can be accepted in the surrounding environment Sizing and placement of explosion vents must be correctly engineered to ensure their effectiveness Where ducted venting is deployed enlarged vent areas must be implemented to offset the delay in the fast combustion event reaching the open atmosphere BSampB provides more than ten models of explosion vent each developed for specific application conditions and to be in compliance with industry standards Whether protecting a storage silo a dust collector or an oven BSampB has proven vent technology for your application
IsolationWhile chemical isolation is the most flexible approach to providing a barrier to flame propagation some applications cannot accept the presence of the extinguishing agents commonly used (most typical is sodium
bicarbonate) Mechanical isolation barriers such as the BSampB IVE lsquopinch valversquo or IFV lsquoflap valversquo can be inserted into a process line Under normal operating conditions the process flow passes through the mechanical barrier Under dust explosion conditions the mechanical barrier either self closes due to the pressure wave that precedes the flameball of a dust explosion or is actuated shut Isolation devices must be located at a distance from the dust explosion hazard verified by BSampB
Spark Detection and Extinguishing Under normal air flow conditions hot spots and sparks passing through ducting can be optically detected and extinguished with water or other compatible medium further along the piping Successful extinguishing is typically achieved without stopping the process Spark detection systems are often deployed to detect a hot spot in a process flow and provide a trigger to an abort gate or diverter valve directing the unwanted hot material to a safe location
Combustible Dust Risk Management Technology PlatformsCombustible dust explosions are fast and dangerous producing flame and pressure risks which must be managed according to the user application conditions The technology platforms employed for protection and prevention all seek to maintain the pressure developed by a dust explosion within safe limits for the typically light metal construction process and storage equipment used in bulk materials handling Suppression and chemical isolation systems extinguish flame early in the dust explosion event Explosion venting to atmosphere requires careful management of the flameball generated which can be 100 feet (30 meters) or more in length
Explosion Suppression Isolation
Sensing of the pressure waves ahead of the fireball developed by early stages of a dust explosion allows a suppression cannon module to extinguish the flame inside this dust collector before it engulfs the process equipment and develops a dangerous pressure The isolation cannon blocks the flame from entering the dirty air inlet avoiding propagation of the dust explosion System relays are used to shut down the process and generate appropriate user alarms

Flame ArrestersFlame arresters are used as secondary protection against explosions by preventing the transmission of flame and explosion transfer in machines equipment and plants containing inflammable gas or steam-air mixtures of inflammable liquids These autonomous safety systems limit the effects of the explosions rendering them harmless they are intended to allow flow but prevent flame transmission
BSampB FlameSaf arrester products use the technical principle of a lsquoquenching gaprsquo Precision coiled arrester elements are manufactured to allow normal flow to occur and to present a barrier to flame propagation The quenching gap selected for the combustion condition of each application is too small for flame to pass and burning is lsquoarrestedrsquo Precision coiled arrester elements offer superior safety as compared to mesh type arresters which offer less stability of quenching gap
The BSampB FlameSaf product line includes arrester technology suited to safe management of deflagration and detonation risks in piping systems and equipment End-of-line and in-line devices are available along with PV vents that offer integral arresters

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well

VentingExplosion venting offers the most economic approach to dust explosion protection when the flameball generated during venting can be accepted in the surrounding environment Sizing and placement of explosion vents must be correctly engineered to ensure their effectiveness Where ducted venting is deployed enlarged vent areas must be implemented to offset the delay in the fast combustion event reaching the open atmosphere BSampB provides more than ten models of explosion vent each developed for specific application conditions and to be in compliance with industry standards Whether protecting a storage silo a dust collector or an oven BSampB has proven vent technology for your application
IsolationWhile chemical isolation is the most flexible approach to providing a barrier to flame propagation some applications cannot accept the presence of the extinguishing agents commonly used (most typical is sodium
bicarbonate) Mechanical isolation barriers such as the BSampB IVE lsquopinch valversquo or IFV lsquoflap valversquo can be inserted into a process line Under normal operating conditions the process flow passes through the mechanical barrier Under dust explosion conditions the mechanical barrier either self closes due to the pressure wave that precedes the flameball of a dust explosion or is actuated shut Isolation devices must be located at a distance from the dust explosion hazard verified by BSampB
Spark Detection and Extinguishing Under normal air flow conditions hot spots and sparks passing through ducting can be optically detected and extinguished with water or other compatible medium further along the piping Successful extinguishing is typically achieved without stopping the process Spark detection systems are often deployed to detect a hot spot in a process flow and provide a trigger to an abort gate or diverter valve directing the unwanted hot material to a safe location
Combustible Dust Risk Management Technology PlatformsCombustible dust explosions are fast and dangerous producing flame and pressure risks which must be managed according to the user application conditions The technology platforms employed for protection and prevention all seek to maintain the pressure developed by a dust explosion within safe limits for the typically light metal construction process and storage equipment used in bulk materials handling Suppression and chemical isolation systems extinguish flame early in the dust explosion event Explosion venting to atmosphere requires careful management of the flameball generated which can be 100 feet (30 meters) or more in length
Explosion Suppression Isolation
Sensing of the pressure waves ahead of the fireball developed by early stages of a dust explosion allows a suppression cannon module to extinguish the flame inside this dust collector before it engulfs the process equipment and develops a dangerous pressure The isolation cannon blocks the flame from entering the dirty air inlet avoiding propagation of the dust explosion System relays are used to shut down the process and generate appropriate user alarms

VentingExplosion venting offers the most economic approach to dust explosion protection when the flameball generated during venting can be accepted in the surrounding environment Sizing and placement of explosion vents must be correctly engineered to ensure their effectiveness Where ducted venting is deployed enlarged vent areas must be implemented to offset the delay in the fast combustion event reaching the open atmosphere BSampB provides more than ten models of explosion vent each developed for specific application conditions and to be in compliance with industry standards Whether protecting a storage silo a dust collector or an oven BSampB has proven vent technology for your application
IsolationWhile chemical isolation is the most flexible approach to providing a barrier to flame propagation some applications cannot accept the presence of the extinguishing agents commonly used (most typical is sodium
bicarbonate) Mechanical isolation barriers such as the BSampB IVE lsquopinch valversquo or IFV lsquoflap valversquo can be inserted into a process line Under normal operating conditions the process flow passes through the mechanical barrier Under dust explosion conditions the mechanical barrier either self closes due to the pressure wave that precedes the flameball of a dust explosion or is actuated shut Isolation devices must be located at a distance from the dust explosion hazard verified by BSampB
Spark Detection and Extinguishing Under normal air flow conditions hot spots and sparks passing through ducting can be optically detected and extinguished with water or other compatible medium further along the piping Successful extinguishing is typically achieved without stopping the process Spark detection systems are often deployed to detect a hot spot in a process flow and provide a trigger to an abort gate or diverter valve directing the unwanted hot material to a safe location
Combustible Dust Risk Management Technology PlatformsCombustible dust explosions are fast and dangerous producing flame and pressure risks which must be managed according to the user application conditions The technology platforms employed for protection and prevention all seek to maintain the pressure developed by a dust explosion within safe limits for the typically light metal construction process and storage equipment used in bulk materials handling Suppression and chemical isolation systems extinguish flame early in the dust explosion event Explosion venting to atmosphere requires careful management of the flameball generated which can be 100 feet (30 meters) or more in length
Explosion Suppression Isolation
Sensing of the pressure waves ahead of the fireball developed by early stages of a dust explosion allows a suppression cannon module to extinguish the flame inside this dust collector before it engulfs the process equipment and develops a dangerous pressure The isolation cannon blocks the flame from entering the dirty air inlet avoiding propagation of the dust explosion System relays are used to shut down the process and generate appropriate user alarms

The BSampB FlameSaf quality assurance system is monitored by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) who issue certification according to ISO 9001 to BSampB
Flame ArrestersFlame arresters are used as secondary protection against explosions by preventing the transmission of flame and explosion transfer in machines equipment and plants containing inflammable gas or steam-air mixtures of inflammable liquids These autonomous safety systems limit the effects of the explosions rendering them harmless they are intended to allow flow but prevent flame transmission
BSampB FlameSaf arrester products use the technical principle of a lsquoquenching gaprsquo Precision coiled arrester elements are manufactured to allow normal flow to occur and to present a barrier to flame propagation The quenching gap selected for the combustion condition of each application is too small for flame to pass and burning is lsquoarrestedrsquo Precision coiled arrester elements offer superior safety as compared to mesh type arresters which offer less stability of quenching gap
The BSampB FlameSaf product line includes arrester technology suited to safe management of deflagration and detonation risks in piping systems and equipment End-of-line and in-line devices are available along with PV vents that offer integral arresters

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well

Combustible Dust Risk Management Technology PlatformsCombustible dust explosions are fast and dangerous producing flame and pressure risks which must be managed according to the user application conditions The technology platforms employed for protection and prevention all seek to maintain the pressure developed by a dust explosion within safe limits for the typically light metal construction process and storage equipment used in bulk materials handling Suppression and chemical isolation systems extinguish flame early in the dust explosion event Explosion venting to atmosphere requires careful management of the flameball generated which can be 100 feet (30 meters) or more in length
Explosion Suppression Isolation
Sensing of the pressure waves ahead of the fireball developed by early stages of a dust explosion allows a suppression cannon module to extinguish the flame inside this dust collector before it engulfs the process equipment and develops a dangerous pressure The isolation cannon blocks the flame from entering the dirty air inlet avoiding propagation of the dust explosion System relays are used to shut down the process and generate appropriate user alarms

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well

VentingExplosion venting offers the most economic approach to dust explosion protection when the flameball generated during venting can be accepted in the surrounding environment Sizing and placement of explosion vents must be correctly engineered to ensure their effectiveness Where ducted venting is deployed enlarged vent areas must be implemented to offset the delay in the fast combustion event reaching the open atmosphere BSampB provides more than ten models of explosion vent each developed for specific application conditions and to be in compliance with industry standards Whether protecting a storage silo a dust collector or an oven BSampB has proven vent technology for your application
IsolationWhile chemical isolation is the most flexible approach to providing a barrier to flame propagation some applications cannot accept the presence of the extinguishing agents commonly used (most typical is sodium
bicarbonate) Mechanical isolation barriers such as the BSampB IVE lsquopinch valversquo or IFV lsquoflap valversquo can be inserted into a process line Under normal operating conditions the process flow passes through the mechanical barrier Under dust explosion conditions the mechanical barrier either self closes due to the pressure wave that precedes the flameball of a dust explosion or is actuated shut Isolation devices must be located at a distance from the dust explosion hazard verified by BSampB

VentingExplosion venting offers the most economic approach to dust explosion protection when the flameball generated during venting can be accepted in the surrounding environment Sizing and placement of explosion vents must be correctly engineered to ensure their effectiveness Where ducted venting is deployed enlarged vent areas must be implemented to offset the delay in the fast combustion event reaching the open atmosphere BSampB provides more than ten models of explosion vent each developed for specific application conditions and to be in compliance with industry standards Whether protecting a storage silo a dust collector or an oven BSampB has proven vent technology for your application
IsolationWhile chemical isolation is the most flexible approach to providing a barrier to flame propagation some applications cannot accept the presence of the extinguishing agents commonly used (most typical is sodium
bicarbonate) Mechanical isolation barriers such as the BSampB IVE lsquopinch valversquo or IFV lsquoflap valversquo can be inserted into a process line Under normal operating conditions the process flow passes through the mechanical barrier Under dust explosion conditions the mechanical barrier either self closes due to the pressure wave that precedes the flameball of a dust explosion or is actuated shut Isolation devices must be located at a distance from the dust explosion hazard verified by BSampB
Spark Detection and Extinguishing Under normal air flow conditions hot spots and sparks passing through ducting can be optically detected and extinguished with water or other compatible medium further along the piping Successful extinguishing is typically achieved without stopping the process Spark detection systems are often deployed to detect a hot spot in a process flow and provide a trigger to an abort gate or diverter valve directing the unwanted hot material to a safe location
Combustible Dust Risk Management Technology PlatformsCombustible dust explosions are fast and dangerous producing flame and pressure risks which must be managed according to the user application conditions The technology platforms employed for protection and prevention all seek to maintain the pressure developed by a dust explosion within safe limits for the typically light metal construction process and storage equipment used in bulk materials handling Suppression and chemical isolation systems extinguish flame early in the dust explosion event Explosion venting to atmosphere requires careful management of the flameball generated which can be 100 feet (30 meters) or more in length
Explosion Suppression Isolation
Sensing of the pressure waves ahead of the fireball developed by early stages of a dust explosion allows a suppression cannon module to extinguish the flame inside this dust collector before it engulfs the process equipment and develops a dangerous pressure The isolation cannon blocks the flame from entering the dirty air inlet avoiding propagation of the dust explosion System relays are used to shut down the process and generate appropriate user alarms

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well

BSampB FlameSafTM
BSampB FlameSafTM is a safety company dedicated to protecting industrial plants and personnel from the dangers of explosion and fire propagation The companyrsquos rich history spans more than 80 years with the BSampB name being well known for its innovative solutions for personal protection against dangerous over pressurizations and explosions within industrial settings
BSampB offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and services that meet and exceed rigorous industry standards for quality and reliability Our integrated solutions have been time-tested and fine-tuned to deliver maximum value and greater efficiencies to individual engineering processes
BSampB is a certified manufacturer of flame arresters detonation arresters and pressure vacuum vents both with and without flame arrestor function Our flame arresters and pressure vacuum vents (PV vents) incorporate impressive design and performance features that include compact and light weight construction with low pressure loss in flowing conditions The easy-to-assemble design enables quick installation of replacement parts when required
CertificationAll products have been certified through a certification body (DNV BAM IBExU PTB) as per the EC Directive 949EC and awarded the CE mark of conformity
Our state of the art flow and dimensional measurement techniques ensure the user receives high quality safety devices compliant with industry standards Product perfomance features are controlled according to EN 10204 and in line with customer special requirements
The BSampB FlameSaf quality assurance system is monitored by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) who issue certification according to ISO 9001 to BSampB
Flame ArrestersFlame arresters are used as secondary protection against explosions by preventing the transmission of flame and explosion transfer in machines equipment and plants containing inflammable gas or steam-air mixtures of inflammable liquids These autonomous safety systems limit the effects of the explosions rendering them harmless they are intended to allow flow but prevent flame transmission
BSampB FlameSaf arrester products use the technical principle of a lsquoquenching gaprsquo Precision coiled arrester elements are manufactured to allow normal flow to occur and to present a barrier to flame propagation The quenching gap selected for the combustion condition of each application is too small for flame to pass and burning is lsquoarrestedrsquo Precision coiled arrester elements offer superior safety as compared to mesh type arresters which offer less stability of quenching gap
The BSampB FlameSaf product line includes arrester technology suited to safe management of deflagration and detonation risks in piping systems and equipment End-of-line and in-line devices are available along with PV vents that offer integral arresters

End-of-line flame arresters on a tank
A deflagration is an explosive combustion process in which the flames propagate at subsonic velocity There are end-of-line and in-line deflagration flame arresters It is imperative to adhere to the maximum distance (L) from the ignition source when installing in-line flame arresters
Functions of Flame Arrester Protects systems for generating storing and transporting gases and liquids of every hazard category against dangers such as deflagration detonation and stabilized burning
Stabilized BurningStablized burning is the steady burning of a flame at or on a flame arrester element Survival of such conditions requires the selection of an arrester model designed for endurance conditions
BSampB FlameSaf short time burning flame arresters have an integral temperature sensor for the user to monitor temperature If a pre-determined limit is exceeded the user must initiate a process shut down to end the combustion event within a defined time period specific to the application
Flame Arrester Product RangeFlame arresters are suitable for a variety of explosive atmospheres within industrial applications Please refer to the BSampB FlameSaf brochure for solutions to protect your application For detailed information please visit our website at wwwBSBflamearresterie
A detonation is an explosion propagating at supersonic velocity characterized by a shock wave Detonations occur in pipelines with long distances to the ignition source (L gt 50 x DN being an example for explosion group IIA)
The flame arresting capability and mechanical strength of an in-line detonation flame arrester is much greater than an in-line deflagration flame arrester Devices designed for detonation conditions will provide deflagration protection as well
